Arrived much earlier then I had planned and in-line with recent weather you could tell it was going to be a hot hot day and this was going to be an issue for me later in the day.
Although it was a very hot day I figured I'd try to get into the 3:40's and hope for the best. The heat was a big worry for me as 1. I burn like crazy and 2. No matter how many times I've run in any sort of heat I always fall apart very quickly.
Things however surprised me and the first half actually went pretty well,
First Half |
However, as you can see from the miles things went quickly down hill on the second half of the marathon to the point where I ended up walking a number of times and was still experiencing muscle pain in my left leg.
Second Half |
I was glad as hell to get to the finish line and the plastic tub full of water was very much welcome to try cool down and relax the muscle's abit.
Finish time: 4:08:00
